[Effect]

The self-made bean paste method according to the present invention can continuously and automatically perform the first to fourth steps. That is, in the first step, the beans are boiled directly in a cylinder without using a wire mesh container, and the skins of the boiled beans are crushed with a rotary cutter to obtain a soup containing the skins and bean paste particles. This allows the juice to be sent via piping into the sieve cylinder for the second step. In the second step, the bean skins are separated from the juice sent from the first step, in which the skins have already been crushed, using a sieve tube. By feeding the paste into the interior, adding bleaching water, stirring, and guiding it in the axial direction of the bleaching tube, separation of the skin and exposure of the bean paste particles to water can be performed continuously, making the first and second steps more efficient. At the same time, water is saved because water is not thrown away.In the third step, the juice sent from the second step into the inner cylinder installed at the top of the tank is diverted around the lower edge of this inner cylinder. The overflow is drained from the upper end of the tank body through the gap between the cylinder and the top of the tank body, while the sedimentation plate provided in the gap prevents the bean paste particles contained in the soup from flowing up. By this, the bean paste particles can be efficiently settled and concentrated at the bottom of the tank body in a short time.
In the process, the fs-condensed juice in the third step is intermittently sent via piping to a dehydration press, and this press uses the same method as before.

[By dehydrating and pressing, the product raw bean paste can be obtained. Therefore, by connecting each process from the 1st process to the 4th process with piping and automatically operating it with a control device, it is possible to mass produce raw bean paste continuously, and it is possible to save labor and manpower that is almost unmanned. In addition, each process from bean boiling to pressing can be performed in one line, and contamination of germs and foreign substances can be prevented. Also, this invention is self-contained! ! The II-made bean paste device cuts the skin of R-ripe beans with a rotary cutter installed at the bottom of the bean boiler cylinder, and also creates convection in the hot water inside the cylinder. Previously, boiled beans were taken out for grinding, but the skins of the beans were crushed in a cylinder to obtain a juice containing the skins and red bean paste particles. It is only necessary to connect a sieve tube, and the skin separating and water-bleaching device, combined with the arrangement of the bleaching tube below the sieve tube, helps in downsizing the automatic bean paste making device. And sedimentation R
The inspection device has a large number of inclined plates including a plurality of upper and lower settling plates provided in the same gap between the inner cylinder and the upper end of the tank body, and adjacent settling plates have different inclination angles,
Since they are installed with a space between them, when the soup sent into the inner cylinder passes through the gap, the bean paste particles contained in the soup hit the inclined plate of the sedimentation plate and turn around, causing the bean paste particles to By promoting the sedimentation of the liquid into the lower part of the tank body, the sedimentation/concentration device can be made smaller, and the bean paste particles in the soaked soup can be efficiently sedimented and concentrated in a short time.

The juice is supplied into the wire mesh cylinder 54, which is a sieve cylinder, through the second liquid supply pipe 60. The skin separating water soaking device 2 drives the electric motor 75 of the drive mechanism 74 in advance to rotate the lower pulley shaft 77 via the pulley 76, the lower endless belt 79, and the pulley 78, and also rotates the lower pulley shaft 77 via the pulley 76, the lower endless belt 79, and the pulley 78. By rotating the upper pulley shaft 81 via the endless belt 83 and the pulley 82, the hollow shaft 55 inside the wire mesh tube 54 rotates via the coupling 84.
The feed blade 57 is also rotating. In addition, water such as tap water from a water supply source is fed into the rotating hollow shaft 55 through the joint 62 through the water supply pipe 63, and is ejected radially from the jet holes 55a opened on the outer periphery of the shaft. 57, the soup containing bean paste particles with a small powder diameter and the water jetted from the spout hole 55a are sent to the outer circumferential side of the wire mesh WJ54 and guided to the soup receiver 58a of the cover tube 58. At this time, the bean skins contained in the soup cannot pass through the wire mesh WJ54, so they are moved from the left side to the right side by the feed blade 57, passed through the right end opening 54d, and are sent into the skin chute 59 where they fall. , an ash receiver provided below is accommodated in the tank 8. The juice from which the skin has been separated and removed as described above flows down from the bottom of the juice receiver 58a to the left end of the exposing tube 65 by the juice feed pipe 70. Since the lower pulley shaft 77 is rotating as described above, the rotating shaft 66 inside the exposing tube 65 is rotating via the coupling 80, and the stirring blade 67 is also rotating. In this state, bleaching water such as tap water is added from the water addition pipe 71 to the left end of the bleaching tube 65, and the bleaching water and soup are stirred by the stirring blade 67 while flowing inside the bleaching tube 65 to the right. Sent. Therefore, the added bleaching water efficiently contacts the bean paste particles contained in the soup, the internal volume of the bleaching cylinder 65 is small, and the amount of bleaching water added is small.
Even if the exposure time is short, the bean paste particles can be sufficiently washed to make good bean paste particles. Note that the rotating shaft 66 is rotated at a slower speed than the hollow shaft 55. The soup that has been exposed to water as described above is exposed to water.
It is sent to the third process from the pouring funnel 69 provided at the right end of J65. In the third step, the soaked juice obtained in the second step is transferred from the juice outlet 66 through the pipe 115 to the supply pipe 93 of the sedimentation and concentration device 3 by driving the transfer pump 6 to the skin separation water soaking device 2. Continuously supplied during operation. The sedimentation 'fs compaction device 3
The juice supplied to the supply pipe 3 flows down this supply pipe 93 and is guided through the supply port 93c formed at the lower end of the supply pipe 93, being almost uniformly distributed on the upper surface of the cap-shaped guide member 96. It flows from the outer peripheral edge of the guide body 96 along the inner rR92 and enters the lower part 91b of the tank body 91 below the cylinder 92. At this time, juice is not being sent out from the outlet 91d provided at the lower end of the tank body 91. When juice accumulates in the lower part 91b of the tank body 91 and the water level rises, the juice enters the gap 97 between the upper part 91a of the tank body 91 and the inner cylinder 92, passes through the two upper and lower settling plates 98, and then Through the wire mesh plate 12, a ring shape [100 and the tank body 91]
overflow from the upper edge of the overflow drain pipe 1
01 to the outside of the sedimentation and concentration device 3. In this state, the juice bypasses the lower edge of the inner cylinder 92 and rises through the gap 97 between the upper part 91a of the tank body 91 and the inner cylinder 92, and when passing through the settling plate 98, these slopes Plate 98b
The bean paste particles contained in the garlic juice hit and turn over, promoting the sedimentation of the bean paste particles into the lower part 91b of the tank body 91. Furthermore, since the settling plates 98 were installed in two stages, upper and lower, with a mutual interval 99, this rI! At 99 parts of 1lli%, the flow rate of the juice becomes slow, and the adjacent sedimentation plate 98 is tilted plate 98b.
Since the directions of inclination are opposite to each other, it is almost impossible for the bean paste particles contained in the soup to pass above the settling plate 98 without hitting the inclined plate 98b. Moreover, even if some of the bean paste particles pass through the settling plates 98 installed in two stages, they are captured by the wire mesh 102C of the wire mesh plate 102, so that no bean paste particles flow away from the overflow drain pipe 101. Therefore, the bean paste particles that settle before the soup enters the gap 97 between the upper part 91a and the inner part 492 of the tank body 91 from the inner cylinder 92 are treated with the bean paste particles whose sedimentation is promoted by the settling plate 98 as described above. The particles and the bean paste particles captured by the wire mesh plate 102 are added. As described above, the juice is almost uniformly distributed on the upper surface of the cap-shaped guide body 96 from the supply port 93c of the supply pipe 93 and flows downward along the inner circumference of the inner cylinder 92, so that the juice supplied Turbulence is not caused in the soup in the tank body 91 outside the inner cylinder 92, and the lfi-condensed soup containing a large amount of bean paste particles that has settled in the lower part of the tank body 91 is not caused to fly up. As a result, in this third step, the bean paste particles contained in the soup can be efficiently settled in the lower part 91b of the tank body 91 in a short time, and the concentrated soup can be stored in the lower part 91b.
Even with a small tank body 19, soup can be continuously supplied, and bean paste particles are hardly washed away from the overflow discharge pipe 91. When the concentrated juice reaches the level of the lower optical sensor 108 provided in the lower part 91b of the tank body 91, the light emitting element 114a
Since the light transmittance of the light emitted from the sensor decreases and becomes below a predetermined value, this is detected by the light receiving element 114b and sent to the control device 7. The pump 130 of the dewatering press 4 is driven by the command from the control device 7 resulting from this operation, and the tank body 91 is driven.
The concentrated juice is delivered to the dehydration press 4 from the delivery port 91d provided at the lower end of the dehydration press 4. In this case, since a lower shade-shaped guide body 104 is disposed at the lower end of the tank body 91 close to above the outlet 91d, the upper surface of this guide body 104 and the funnel of the lower part 91b of the tank body 91 Concentrated juice is guided along the slope of the shaped portion 91b2 and is sent out from the outlet 91d. Therefore, the B-condensed juice in the lower part 91b of the tank 91 is sent out from the bottom without generating turbulence, and the fourth step is performed as described later. The pump 130 of the dehydrating press 4 is stopped after receiving a predetermined amount of concentrated juice into the dehydrating press 4 using a timer. That is, sending out the concentrated juice from the tank body 1 is stopped. Then, the fourth step is performed to obtain raw bean paste, but since the dehydration pressure Fq machine 4 is in intermittent operation, the subsequent operation is such that a start command is issued to the pump of the dehydration press 4 every time dehydration is completed, and the lower light sensor If there is juice concentrated in the tank body 91 above the level of 108, the pump 130 of the dehydration press 4
is driven, and a predetermined amount of juice is sent out to the dehydration pressurizer 4, and the fourth step is repeated. In addition, the lower optical sensor 10
If there is illwJ juice less than the level 8, the pump 130 of the dewatering press 4 is activated after waiting for the ifi-condensed juice to reach the level. and,
There is a large amount of juice that has been subjected to water-bleaching that is continuously sent from the component layer water-bleaching device 2 through the supply pipe 93, and even if the concentrated juice is sent to the dehydration press 4, the concentrated juice in the tank body 91 is not concentrated. The level of juice may increase. In this case, when the concentrated juice reaches the level of the upper optical sensor 107, the upper optical sensor 107 lowers the light transmittance of the juice to a predetermined value as in the case of the lower sensor 108 described above. The supply of juice to the supply pipe 93 is stopped by detecting that the liquid has become below and stopping the transfer pump 6 provided between the skin separating water exposure device 2 and the supply pipe 93 using the pushing device 7. interrupt. This prevents the sedimentation and concentration device 3 from failing due to the level of concentrated juice becoming too high. Further, when the concentrated juice is sent from the tank body 93 to the dehydration press 4 and the level of this juice drops from the position of the upper light sensor 107 to an appropriate position, the transfer pump 6 Restart the operation and restart the supply of soaked juice from the supply pipe 93. In the fourth step, by driving the pump 130 of the dehydration pressure 19 machine 4, the cylinder 124 and the piston 126 are supplied from the supply pipe 129 through the check valve 128 for a certain period of time set by a timer.
, the awJ juice is supplied to the inside surrounded by the filters 122 and 127 for a predetermined set time. When a predetermined amount of juice is supplied and the pump 130 is stopped, the hydraulic cylinder mechanism 125 is operated and the piston 126, which had been retreating, moves forward, and the juice is dehydrated under pressure. After the piston 126 is slightly retracted during the compression, it is moved forward again to perform final pressure dehydration, and the dehydrated filtrate is passed through the filters 122 and 127 by appropriate means. It is discharged outside the dehydration press 4 and processed. When the dehydration is completed, the hydraulic cylinder mechanism 123 operates and the cylinder 124 retreats, and at the same time or a little later, the piston 126 retreats by the hydraulic cylinder mechanism 125, and the filtration surface 1
A gap is created at 22.127rvR, and a gap is created between the cylinder 124 and the fixed cylindrical body 121. Therefore, the dehydrated raw bean paste falls due to gravity, and the bean paste receiver is stored in the box 9. Cylinder 124 and piston 1
When the cylinder 26 reaches the rearward end, the cylinder 12 moves backward.
4 moves forward, the piston 126 stops, completing one cycle, and repeats the operations described above. In addition, after stopping the supply of soup as mentioned above, pressurized dehydration is performed and raw bean paste is dropped.
The operation until the cycle is completed is dehydration pressure 1fi 1 machine 4
This is done using a control panel installed in the controller or a timer in the control device 7. When the required amount of fresh bean paste, which is a product stored in the box 9, is reached, the anke takes out the box 9, takes out the raw bean paste, and performs the bean paste kneading process. In the automatic bean paste making method according to this embodiment, beans and water are supplied to the bean stew, the ash receiver is discharged when the tank 8 is filled with bean skins, and the bean paste is used when the box 9 is filled with a predetermined amount of fresh bean paste. The entire process from boiling the beans to storing the raw bean paste product in the box 9 can be performed automatically, except for taking out the case. In addition, in this invention, the shape, number, and inclination angle of the blades of the rotary cutter of the bean boiling pot may be changed as appropriate, and the exhaust pipe and the overflow drain pipe may be connected to the inner circle separately. In addition, the skin separation and water exposure device may use, as the sieve tube, a punch knob plate or the like with a large number of small holes formed in the body instead of the wire mesh tube. Furthermore, the sedimentation chastity device is not limited to two stages of settling plates, but may be provided with three or more stages in the vertical direction, and in this case, a cylindrical intermediate part is provided between the upper and lower parts of the tank body. By inserting and providing an increasing settling plate in the middle part of B, the processing capacity can be improved without increasing the floor area required for installing the two upper and lower stages. In the plurality of upper and lower settling plates used in this invention, the inclined plates of adjacent settling plates are not tilted in opposite directions as in the above embodiment, but the slopes of the Pli slanted plates of adjacent settling plates are made to be different from each other. It is sufficient to ensure that the bean paste particles contained in the tank are always in contact with the inclined plate, and to prevent the bean paste particles from flowing up from the upper edge of the tank. In the above embodiment, a wire mesh plate was provided above the upper sedimentation plate in order to improve the yield of bean paste particles, but the wire mesh plate may be omitted in the present invention. In addition, in this embodiment, in the third step, f
Although we have described a method in which the sm juice is intermittently dehydrated and squeezed by the dehydration press in the 4th step, dehydration and pressing is performed continuously according to the supply capacity of the original juice in the 3rd step. Of course, it is also possible to mass-produce raw bean paste in this manner.
